[Mad Dawg]

I see you called in your homies. And then while you denied you were mocking us you then said: I realize, of course, that assumption, inference and extrapolation are ONLY HOLY WHEN RC'S DO IT. But, I'm human enough to do it anyway.
And then you changed the subject.

Are we talking about Lazarus and Dives or what here? YOU brought it up. YOU said it proved your point. Is your argument, "RCs extrapolate so I'm going to say that a bridge over HERE is definite Biblical PROOF that GOD also put a bridge over THERE."

Of course, I've been suggesting for a while now that "proof" from Scripture is an almost infinitely elastic concept. I did't expect someone who calls himself Bible-believing but then argues that " a gulf here over which communication CAN happen" means "a gulf there over which communication can NOT happen" would be providing evidence for that point.

I don’t give much thought to relationships with those believers who have been promoted to a place face to face with Him. If believers pray to such persons, how exactly do they discern between praying to a familiar spirit and a departed saint?

[Quix]

Perhaps you can show me where I used

“proof”

“prove”

“proven.”

I do occasionally. Rarely, I think.
